  1. Maya moon goddess

    Image Maya moon goddess.jpg thumb 200px The Moon Goddess in the Classic period The traditional Mayas generally assume the moon to be female, and the moon s phases are accordingly conceived as the stages of a woman s life. The Maya moon goddess wields great influence in many areas. Being in the image of a woman, she is naturally associated with sexuality and procreation, fertility and growth, not only of human beings, but also of the vegetation and the crops. Since in a negative sense, growth can cause all sorts of ailments, the moon goddess is also a goddess of disease. Everywhere in Mesoamerica , including the Mayan area, she is specifically associated with water, be it wells, rainfall, or the rainy season. In the codices, she has a terrestrial counterpart in goddess I . Lunar mythology The sources for Maya lunar mythology are almost entirely contemporaneous, with the exception of the Popol Vuh . A division can be made according to the moon s kinship roles. Moon as a male sibling celestial power . In the Popol Vuh 16th century , the Maya Hero Twins are finally transformed into sun and moon, implying the recognition of a male moon, in a departure from the main Maya tradition. However, the Popol Vuh hardly belongs to lunar mythology, and becoming sun and moon may well be a metonymy metonym for acquiring dominance over the sky and thus, metaphorically, political predominance.

  1. Luis González Palma

    Luis Gonz lez Palma is a Modernism modernist Guatemala n Photography photographer . Born in 1957, the artist grew up in Guatemala City where he later continued to live and opened up a portrait studio. He studied architecture and cinematography at the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala and then turned to photography. He has presented his work since 1989 present in more than 58 expositions in America and Europe. He is of mixed or mestizo background, and his photography focuses on the plight of the indigenous Maya civilization Mayas and the mestizo people of Guatemala. His photographs are often meant to bring Psychology psychological and culture issues into the viewers mind, by incorporating distant gazes and mystical costumes that objectify and explain the pain these people, who are a minority group minority in Guatemala, have gone through since before, during and after the intense genocide of their race. Symbol ism is very important in Gonz lez Palma s work he uses symbols to get his strong ideas across. Along with symbolism Gonz lez Palma uses Sepia tone sepia tints in all of his photographs, and tends to leave the whites of the eyes not tinted, in order to intensify the subject s gaze. Critics say this helps bring out the issues that the artist is trying to explain or explore. Another strong part of his photography is that he tends to collage his photographs, layering on top of his subjects with important words or symbols. Gonz lez Palma declares that he tries to portray the soul of a people in his photographs, but others disagree with him, and claim that he exploits his subjects. It all comes down to the opinion of the viewer in the end.

    Image Alice Dixon LePlongeon Portrait.jpeg 200 px thumb right Portrait of Alice Dixon Le Plongeon, taken by her husband Augustus Le Plongeon Augustus , ca. 1875 Alice Dixon Le Plongeon 1851 1910 was an England English photographer , amateur archaeologist traveller, and author.
